The US Pledge of Allegiance

The Pledge of Allegiance of the United States is an expression of allegiance to the flag of the United States and the republic of the United States of America. Such a pledge was first composed, with a text different from the one used at present, by Captain George Thatcher Balch, a Union Army Officer during the Civil War and later a teacher of patriotism in New York City schools. The form of the pledge used today was largely devised by Francis Bellamy in 1892, and formally adopted by Congress as the pledge 50 years later, in 1942. The official name of The Pledge of Allegiance was adopted in 1945. The most recent alteration of its wording came on Flag Day (June 14) in 1954, when the words "under God" were added. -Wikipedia   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pledge_of_Allegiance   Today the Pledge of Allegiance is a compulsory pledge that every student must make and every member of the Military and every prisoner must make. West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette 1943, has been made Null. Meaning that Compelled speech is now legal. The pledge has also been changed and has been this way since 2030, erasing any mention of god and has a hyper nationalistic edge added to it.    This is all the versions.   1892
(first version)
  "I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."   1892 to 1923
(early revision by Bellamy)
  "I pledge allegiance to my Flag and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."   1923 to 1924   "I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."   1924 to 1954   "I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."   1954 to 2030   "I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."   2030 to Present   "I pledge allegiance to my flag and to the Great Nation for which it stands. One flag, all Nations, Indivisible, with Justice and Order for all."    The modem pledge is written by Peter Muller, lead propagandist of the Neo Democratic party, written with the intention to "Create national Solidarity, Unity and shared Purpose.". One thing one may note is the total removal of any mention of Republic, Democracy or Liberty is removed. While god is also removed, the removal of these mentions means that what you are pledging to is the State and not to the Republic because there is no republic.    US Remnants, Minutemen and few other factions have completely reverted back to the 1892 version. Believing it to be the true pledge but also do not compell their members to make the speech.
